Concept Introduction:
Reduction: If electrons are gained to a species during a
Oxidation: If electrons are moved from a species during a chemical reaction. The species whose electrons are removed is said to be oxidized.
Reducing agent: The chemical substance is considered as reducing agent if it is capable of donating more electrons which reduces the other substance and getting oxidized by itself during the process.
Effective nuclear charge: It is the charge experienced by the valence electrons from the nucleus. Effective nuclear charge increases across a period because increasing nuclear charge with no accompanying increase in shielding effect.

General Chemistry: Atoms First
- Write net ionic equations for the reaction of H+ with (a) Fe2S3 (b) Mg(OH)2 (c) MgCO3 (d) Pt(NH3)42+ (e) Hg2I2arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions by referring to standard electrode potentials at 25C. a Will oxygen, O2, oxidize iron(II) ion in solution under standard conditions? b Will copper metal reduce 1.0 M Ni2(aq) to metallic nickel?arrow_forwardThe hydrogen phthalate ion, C8HsO4, is a weak acid with Ka = 3.91 106. C8H5O4(aq)+H2O(l)C8H4O42(aq)+H3O+(aq) What is the pH of a 0.050 M solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate. KC8H5O4? Note: To find the pH for a solution of the anion, we must take into account that the ion is amphiprotic. It can be shown that, for most cases of amphiprotic ions, the H3O+ concentration is [H3O+]=Ka1Ka2 For phthalic acid, C8H6O4 is Ka1 is 1.12 103, and Ka2 is 3.91 106.arrow_forward
- The solubility of cadmium oxalate. CdC2O4, in 0.150 M ammonia is 6.1 103 mol/L. What is the oxalate-ion concentration in the saturated solution? If the solubility product constant for cadmium oxalate is 1.5 108, what must be the cadmium-ion concentration in the solution? Now calculate the formation constant for the complex ion Cd(NH3)42+.arrow_forwardDissolving K2CO3 in water gives a basic solution. Rite a balanced equation showing how this can occur.arrow_forwardCalculate the mass of manganese hydroxide present in 1300 mL of a saturated manganese hydroxide solution. For Mn(OH)2, Ksp = 2.0 1013.arrow_forward
- Consider the reducing agents Cu+(aq), Zn(s), and Fe(s). Which is strongest? Which is weakest?arrow_forwardUse Table 17.1 to predict what reaction, if any, will occur if sulfur is added to acidic aqueous solutions of the following species at standard conditions. (a) MgBr2 (b) Sn(NO3)2(c) Cr(ClO3)2arrow_forwardWhy does Ag+ ions reacts with Cl- ionsarrow_forward
- Is Mg(OH)2 a acid, base, or neither?arrow_forwardWhat [Ag+] is required to reduce [CO32−] to 8.2 × 10–4 M by precipitation of Ag2CO3?arrow_forwardClothing washed in water that has a manganese [Mn2+(aq)] concentration exceeding 0.1 mg/L (1.8 × 10–6 M) may be stained by the manganese upon oxidation, but the amount of Mn2+ in the water can be reduced by adding a base. If a person doing laundry wishes to add a buffer to keep the pH high enough to precipitate the manganese as the hydroxide, Mn(OH)2, what pH is required to keep [Mn2+] equal to 1.8 × 10–6 M?arrow_forward
